looks like you threw a rod and cracked the head. not as bad as you think. you could rebuild it depending how bad it hit the cylinder.

Hopefully next week ill have someone look at it... If the boat was worth more money id just repower with a newer motor... But its just not worth it..

Hard to repair cast aluminum....but it may not be as bad as it looks. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a second hand motor than rebuilding it.

Did the same thing to my 40. You may have had a bent piston rod. That's what happened to mine. Ever got water in your cylinder?
